CHAPTER 1: MOBILITY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
I. ¿WHAT IS THE
EUROPEAN
SINGLE MARKET?
The European Single Market is an ambitious project aimed at the creation of a “single
economic area”. The methodology proposed is based on the so called “four freedoms” and
the basic principle of NON DISCRIMINATION on the grounds of origin or nationality:
1. FREE MOVEMENT OF GOODS
2. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT OF PERSONS
3. FREEDOM TO PROVIDE SERVICES
4. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT OF CAPITALS

II. ¿WHAT RIGHTS
INCLUDES
MOBILITY IN THE
EUROPEAN
UNION?
Mobility of persons within the European Union is settled on some rights that, as a whole,
are the grounds for the NON-DISCRIMINATION and the elimination of barriers and
obstacles to the movements across the EU.
Union citizens` rights on mobility are:
Right to entry into any other EU Member State without any specific
requirement. All Union citizens have the right to enter another Member State by
virtue of having an identity card or valid passport. Their right to entry can only be
restricted on grounds of public policy, public security or public health.
Right to live, reside and settle in any EU Member State. For stays of less than
three months, the only requirement on Union citizens is that they possess a valid
identity document or passport. The right of residence for more than three months
remains subject to certain conditions, and Member States may require Union
citizens to register with the competent authorities within a period of not less than
three months as from the date of arrival and obtain a registration certificate. After a
five-year period of uninterrupted legal residence, Union citizens acquire the right of
permanent residence in the host Member State.
Right to work and obtain a retirement pension in any EU Member State. Union
migrant workers are entitled to be treated as nationals of their new country. This
means they are entitled to the same benefits as native workers. Their pensions will
be exported, independently of how long they have been living there.
Right to study in any EU Member State. University or educational institutions
have to accept the application of students from another EU country in identical
conditions as the nationals of their new country. Family members of a Union citizen
are entitled to study in their new country.

CHAPTER 2: MOBILITY TO WORK IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
I. RIGHT TO WORK IN
ANOTHER EU
COUNTRY
European tools that
help workers´ mobility
Any EU citizen has the same right to work in another EU country as nationals of that
country under the same conditions and without having to apply for a work permit.
No restrictions – quantitative limits or discriminatory recruitment criteria – can be placed on
the recruitment of nationals of other EU countries.
Any EU national has the right to look for a job in another EU country, receive the same
assistance from the national employment offices as nationals of their host country and stay
in the host country for a period long enough to look for work, apply for a job and be
recruited.
Jobseekers cannot be expelled if they prove that they are continuing to seek employment
and have a genuine chance of finding a job.

1) Europass is a set of five documents to make your skills and qualifications clearly and
easily understood in Europe.
- Two documents freely accessible, completed by European citizens:
the Curriculum Vitae.
the Language Passport.
- Three documents issued by education and training authorities:
the Europass Mobility records the knowledge and skills acquired in another
European country;
the Certificate Supplement describes the knowledge and skills acquired by holders
of vocational education and training certificates;
the Diploma Supplement describes the knowledge and skills acquired by holders of
higher education degrees.
2) Recognition of professional qualifications.
Union citizens that want to practise their profession or provide services in another EU
country may need to declare their professional qualifications or have them recognized.
Have a look at the EU law governing recognition of professional qualifications, including the
directives regulating certain professions.

II. RIGHT TO WORK
IN EU
INSTITUTIONS
European Union
institutions and other
bodies
European Union develops its activity thanks to a range of institutions and other bodies
that safeguard the advance of the communitarian build up and the integration of the
Member States.
The countries that make up the EU (its ‘member states’) remain independent sovereign
nations but they pool their sovereignty in order to gain a strength and world influence none
of them could have on their own. Pooling sovereignty means, in practice, that the member
states delegate some of their decision-making powers to shared institutions they have
created, so that decisions on specific matters of joint interest can be made democratically
at European level.

European Civil Service
Elegibility
Recruitment Process
The EU Institutions employ women and men from a wide variety of cultural, educational,
and professional backgrounds who are united by their passion for Europe.
The goal of the European Union is that European Civil Service is characterized by acting
objectively, impartially, in the Community interest and for the public good. Its activities are
guided by the following principles: efficiency, ethics and conduct and transparency.
There are two types of employment in the EU civil service:
“PERMANENT OFFICIALS”: permanent staff that has passed a competition
based on either qualifications or tests, or both qualifications and tests.
“OTHER SERVANTS”: non-permanent staff engaged in a post with a contract of a
determined period of time.
To be eligible to apply for an open competition or selection procedure you must:
be a citizen of an EU country
be entitled to full rights as an EU citizen
have fulfilled any obligations by the laws concerning military service
have thorough knowledge of one of the official EU languages and satisfactory
knowledge of a second – at least one of which must be English, French or German
for language competitions, you must have a perfect knowledge of one official EU
language and a thorough knowledge of a second and third – at least one of which
must be English, French or German.
You must also meet any specific requirements set out in the relevant competition notice or
call for expression of interest regarding qualifications and professional experience.
EPSO is the Office in charge of most of the recruitment processes that take place in the
European Institutions.
The format of the selection procedures varies depending on the type of contract and the
profile being sought. Each competition is announced by a competition notice, giving full
details of the profile, the eligibility criteria and the selection procedure. Generally, it takes 5-
9 months to complete the selection procedure, starting from the date of publication of the
competition notice. The EU institutions select candidates for permanent contracts through
open competitions. These are tests and assessment exercises designed to measure the
professional skills and a number of core competencies.
Applicants who pass a competition are placed on a reserve list from which the institutions
draw recruits as and when they need them.

I. EUROPEAN UNION
PROGRAMMES IN
THE FIELD OF
EDUCATION
2007-2013
Erasmus for All is the new EU programme for education, training, youth and sport
proposed by the European Commission on 23 November 2011. The proposal is now under
discussion by the Council (27 Member States) and the European Parliament who will take
the final decision.
Erasmus for All would bring together all the current EU and international schemes for
education, training, youth and sport, replacing seven existing programmes with one. This
will increase efficiency, make it easier to apply for grants, as well as reducing duplication
and fragmentation. It is due to start in 2014.
A) LIFE LONG LEARNING PROGRAMMES - LLP
Sectorial programmes:
1. Comenius for schools 2. Erasmus Programme for higher education 3. Leonardo da Vinci for vocational education and training 4. Grundtvig for adult education
Transversal programme: 5. Transversal Programme
Policy cooperation and innovation
Languages
ICTs
Dissemination and exploitation of results
Programa complementario: 6. Jean Monnet
B) EXTERNAL RELATIONS PROGRAMMES
1. Tempus 2. Erasmus Mundus 3. Cooperation with industrialised countries
UE/USA UE/CANADA UE/JAPAN UE/AUSTRALIA UE/NEW ZELAND UE/SOUTH COREA

N.B.: Some of the Programmes or part of them are centralized and therefore managed by the Executive Agency EACEA. Others, instead, are descentralized and managed by national Agencies.
